Groups join for live band night

The Peninsula Community Drug Action Team and the Umina Beach Police and Community Youth Centre (PCYC) have joined to hold a live band night.

The event will be held at the PCYC in Osborne Ave, Umina, on Friday, July 1, from 6pm to 10pm.

The six local bands which will take part in the concert include For the Moment, Bright Yellow, Vetna, What Tomorrow Holds, My After Thought and Something between the Lines.

"These bands are well known amongst young people and organisers are hoping for great turn out of their supporters," said Peninsula Drug Action Team representative Ms Carolyn Carter.

"We want to give these guys an opportunity to perform for their peers, and also provide our local youth with a exciting night of entertainment.

"We are also lucky to have the services of students, who are studying the two unit entertainment subject at Brisbane Water Secondary College, supplying the know-how for the sound and light for the evening.

"If this night is a success, we will look at organising more later in the year."

The night will be supervised by PCYC staff and volunteers along the same lines as for the regular PCYC dance parties.

Entry to the event will be $5 at the door, and the canteen will be open, selling hot dogs, drinks and snack food.
